Abstract
Athletic training apparel useful for yoga or other sports and methods associated therewith. A pair of pants, which may be constructed from a lightweight textile base material and are relatively smooth, includes areas with an increased coefficient of friction to allow a wearer to use the higher friction areas to maintain a training position, such as a yoga asana. The higher friction areas may be formed by disposing a higher friction material upon the textile base material of the pants. In one illustrative embodiment, the higher friction areas may be placed on the portion of the pants that will be positioned on the inner thighs of a wearer. The higher friction areas may be disposed in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
